Healthy Kale And Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup Kale, chopped
  • 1 medium Sweet potato, diced
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil (For sautéing)
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin, ground
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup Coconut milk (For creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add Sweet Potato

    Add the diced sweet potato and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    This helps to slightly soften the sweet potato.
  3. Incorporate Broth and Spices

    Pour in the vegetable broth, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

    Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Simmer the Soup

    Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.

    Check tenderness by piercing with a fork.
  5. Add Kale

    Stir in the chopped kale and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until wilted.

    Kale should be vibrant green and tender.
  6. Blend for Creaminess

    Optional: For a creamier texture, blend the soup using an immersion blender or in batches.

    Be careful with hot liquids when blending.
  7. Finish with Coconut Milk and Lemon

    Stir in coconut milk and lemon juice before serving.

    Adjust seasoning to taste.
